Trichromatic

In addition, while we base our 'trichromatic' color combinations on red, blue, and green, bees base their colors on UV, blue, and green a much richer type of light. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Even then, it's mostly old-world primates who are trichromatic; for new-world monkeys, only some females (depending on individual inheritance rather than species) are trichromatic. ❋ Heather McDougal (2009)

Long ago, before the dinosaurs, our early fish-like ancestors had trichromatic vision (three cone receptors). ❋ Heather McDougal (2009)

This explains why primates are the only mammals who have trichromatic vision - it is a trait mostly found in birds and reptiles (dinosaur descendents). ❋ Heather McDougal (2009)

People had trichromatic vision, acute aural capacities, a fair sense of smell, the ability to feel textures and taste bitterness. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Not that I bought that conclusion (trichromatic vision is another extremely interesting poke full of NDS Anazi Tales), but it was another fine stone for the soup. ❋ Unknown (2007)

Such as the finding that primates apparently traded olfactory receptor genes for trichromatic vision. ❋ Unknown (2007)

Le Blon is credited with having convinced Dufay of the value of trichromatic theories to dyeing. 25 ❋ Unknown (2006)

In Le Blon's system, white was supplied by the paper and, as trichromatic theories indicated, overlayering of all three inks would create black. ❋ Unknown (2006)

His color system is based on artistic understanding of light rather than the prismatic colors used in wheels or bars of color, or the artist-based trichromatic theories that inspired Mayer, although he includes them both in his form. ❋ Unknown (2006)

The trichromatic ideal was explained by Jacob Christoph Le Blon, used by Charles-François Dufay, adjusted by Jacques-Fabien Gautier and Louis-Bertrand Castel, made visible by Tobias Mayer, Moses Harris, Johann Heinrich Lambert and others. reference reference reference reference The concept, its connections to theory more or less intact, was included in presentations of practical advice about color production and color use for many different specialties. ❋ Unknown (2006)

The amorphous nature of the interaction between techniques and ideas in the eighteenth century is also evident in the example of three-color or trichromatic theory. ❋ Unknown (2006)

Humans, apes and Old World monkeys, such as macaques and leaf monkeys, all have trichromatic vision, which allows these primates to distinguish between blue, green and red colors. ❋ Unknown (2007)

Whereas humans have trichromatic vision corresponding to the three different kinds of photoreceptor cells we have in our retinas that allows us to see light in a relatively narrow range we call the "visual spectrum," the mantis shrimp has four times as many kinds of photoreceptors that allow it to see a much broader spectrum of light, including polarized light. ❋ Field Notes (2006)

Under the glare of the trichromatic lights -- so dazzling that they pained the eyes -- the long, broad corridors seemed to stretch to infinity. ❋ Clarke, Arthur C. (1953)
